FDIC chair, ‘architect of Operation Chokepoint 2.0’ Martin Gruenberg to resign Jan. 19

Martin Gruenberg is set to exit as FDIC Chair, with Representative Tom Emmer blasting him as “an architect of Operation Chokepoint 2.0.”

Martin Gruenberg, the chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and alleged “architect of Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” has reportedly announced he’ll retire on Jan. 19 — a day before Donald Trump is inaugurated as president.

Reuters reported on Nov. 20 that Gruenberg, a Democrat, confirmed his departure in a message to FDIC employees, saying that he had informed the outgoing President Joe Biden of his decision.

Republican House Representative Tom Emmer blasted Gruenberg on X in response to the news, claiming he was “an architect of Operation Chokepoint 2.0 and drove the FDIC into the ground, failing to protect his own employees from the toxic work environment that he cultivated.”

Ethereum price shows strength, but a 23% drop in DApps activity raises concern

Declining DApp activity and lackluster demand for the ETH ETFs could limit Ethereum’s recent price rally.

Ether (ETH) price surged 9.4% between Oct. 10 and Oct. 15, reaching its highest level in two weeks at $2,687. However, despite these recent gains, Ether remains down 25% over the past three months, reflecting investor disappointment with the recently launched spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the overall lack of demand for ETH, despite Ethereum's focus on prioritizing layer-2 scaling solutions.

In the past 7 days, the Ethereum network saw a 23% decline in onchain decentralized applications (DApp) volumes and this downturn has sparked speculation that Ether's price could follow suit.

While various factors have negatively affected Ether’s price since mid-July, it is particularly striking that the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization remained relatively flat over the same three-month period.

Ethereum’s value accretion narrative under duress after 19% drop in ETH DApp volumes 

ETH price struggles to find reasons to rally after the network’s DApp volumes drop and Ether languishes near the $2,250 support.

Ether (ETH) has struggled to break above $2,450 for more than two weeks, and the recent 17% drop in Ethereum decentralized application (DApp) activity has raised concerns, particularly as it affects the layer-2 ecosystem. Traders are now questioning whether the current $2,250 support level will hold much longer.

On the positive side, Ethereum remains the dominant platform in terms of both activity and development, although competitors are gaining ground.

Ethereum price data casts doubt on the strength of ETH’s support at $3K

ETH derivatives data shows pro traders’ appetite for risk declining, placing pressure on the $3,000 support level.

Ether (ETH) price plummeted by 21% between April 9 and April 14, hitting a 50-day low. Although it has recouped some of its losses, Ether continues to show signs of weakness following a failed attempt to breach the $3,200 resistance on April 14. Traders now question if the $3,000 support will hold for longer.

Investors are cautiously optimistic about the potential approval of a spot Ether exchange-traded fund (ETF) in May. However, the mixed signals from on-chain and derivatives data suggest the possibility of further corrections before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) makes its decision.

Jan van Eck, CEO of VanEck investment firm, expressed doubt that the spot Ether ETFs would receive approval in May. He pointed to the SEC's extended inactivity on a list of seven pending applications, including those from major firms like BlackRock, Fidelity, ARK 21Shares, and VanEck.
